| Although I very much like the idea, this quiz is pointless. Each of these constants are used in many, many ways and the author clearly isn't particularly versed in physics. In addition symbols use vary by country and textbook.
For example, mu is used to represent a magnetic moment, a muon, linear density (which, for example some textbooks call rho_l), reduced mass and of course the chemical potential.
And, for another example, the first things to come to a physicists mind for beta would be 1/kT, and the unitless velocity term in a lorentz factor. Which by the way, (a lorentz factor in special relativity) is probably the most common place one would find a gamma.
Anyways, great idea and I applaud the effort but if you read any physics book you'll pretty much see all symbols used and if you read a different one they'll all be used again except to mean different things. |
